How to be Smarter: There is always enough to share. This is true for everything: your knowledge on a particular topic, extra space under the blanket on a cold night, the final piece of pie at dinner. No matter how little of something you think you have, others will always be happy you chose to share.

How to be (less) Awkward: If you are unsure of how to respond to an idea someone has, saying “that’s interesting, tell me more?” usually encourages them to give more information and also gives you extra time to think of how to respond.
